Camille and Jesse sail Stella on a 130-nautical-mile overnight crossing that deteriorates into two consecutive days and nights of continuous lightning, squalls, and building swell. The passage begins calmly under a full moon with 5.5-knot winds and 3.3-knot boat speed, but the moon disappears behind thick cloud within hours of nightfall.5:39 They reef the main twice, furl the jib to near-storm-jib configuration, and sail the entire passage without the engine.7:03 Lightning surrounds them continuously — not occasional strikes but constant, all-around — while Stella slams through wave after wave.7:19 Neither crew member sleeps; every wave impact wakes whoever tries to rest below.10:44 By the second night, winds hit 28–30 knots in squalls, easing to 18–19 knots between them.11:13 They navigate the final approach to an unfamiliar anchorage at 1:30 a.m. using Google satellite imagery, a fish finder for depth, and the full moon for visibility, dropping anchor in calm water after roughly 48 hours of storm sailing.11:35 Pre-reefing before dark rather than waiting for conditions to force it kept sail changes manageable during the worst squalls.11:13
